Have you seen this?


I like this web blog...the only thing I can complain about is that there is no DELAWARE page....I am going to contact the owner of this blog and see if we can get our little state represented! Here's a link to the blog: http://www.stylemepretty.com/

Rock the Vote!


Only ONE week left till Election Day! I know some people are tired of all the ads and news stories and rallies, but, hey I think it's great that so many people are into it this year!
So don't forget to take the time to practice your right to vote....so many brave people have fought hard over the past 200+ years to get us here!

On the road again....

This week, I am in Long Island visiting my mother in law who is recovering from surgery. I apologize to any one I haven't gotten back to yet...It's hard to squeeze in business stuff while I'm up here this week! I will try to keep updating the blog as much as possible though!

By the way, today is a perfect fall day to me: windy, rainy, grey sky, beautiful fall foliage. I hope you are enjoying the day as much as I am...there's just something a little magical with days like this!

One of my FAVORITE photogs


Ok I have to admit, I have been really lax about updating my blog this season. It's just been so busy this summer and fall...I know, I know, it's no excuse and I plan on putting a lot of my experiences and thoughts from over the wedding season on here in the weeks to come.

So one of the people that stands out to me from the summer is Anne Ruthmann (That's TWO N's at the end of her name!) I work with a lot of photogs, djs, caterers, facilities, etc and love meeting all these new people and seeing their style and creativity, especially in the photographs and FOOD! :)

One person I continue follow (via blogging, twitter) to see what she's up to is Anne. She is a WONDERFUL photographer...creative, hardworking, and just plain ol' great to be around. Anne travels all over the place and is nationally recognized as a great photographer. If you can't book Anne, I recommend that you just check out her work if only to admire it. She is one really talented chick. Here is here website. Be sure to check out her blog as well. TTFN

Great DJ


Ok so this weekend I shot a wedding at the beautiful Union League on Broad Street in Philadelphia. Rosa and John had a beautiful wedding and a video highlight is coming soon!

The DJ, Ryan and his wife Amanda were amazing! They were so organized and kept everyone on track with what was happening next. Amanda even printed out the reception itinerary for me and the photographer as well.

The best part, however, was that Ryan has a great sense of the perfect music to play at any time in the night. And he doesn't play all the typical dinner music either. He kept it relaxed, but upbeat and contemporary with some classic songs in there as well. I know not everyone is looking for the type of music that Rosa and John preferred at their wedding, but I just felt that Ryan and Amanda did an excellent job throughout the entire night with professionalism and AWESOME music selections. I highly recommend them. Here is a link.

Delaware Bride Bridal Show

Thanks to everyone that came out to the DE Bride Bridal Show...as always it is great to get out and meet so many of you in person. I think the best way to decide on your wedding vendors is to meet them in person and know that they personally are the ones who will be at the wedding. Knowing the person (especially for video and photography) I think gives you peace of mind and one less thing to worry about! My favorite part of being a wedding videographer is getting to know my bride and groom and their family. Each wedding is truly unique to me because each individual is unique. So, even if I am booked for the year, I still like to get out and meet more brides and especially other vendors. That way, I can recommend other services to my brides since I've met other service providers in person and have seen their work...I'm all about personal service. So if you need any help in recommendations for other wedding companies, just let me know and I'll be happy to give you some! :)

Super Doooper Tuesday!

The one awesome thing about being a stay at home mom is the fact that I get to hang with my baby girl all day long and wherever I go, she goes (anyone having flashbacks of the "My Buddy and Me Doll" theme song?)

So, that means that when mommy needs to Rock the Vote on Super Tuesday, then Miss Anna has to come along!...and then we went on the swings for the first time. It was a big day :)
